Pip Value Calculator for INR
A pip (percentage in point) is the smallest price movement in a currency pair. For most pairs like EUR/USD, 1 pip = 0.0001. For JPY pairs, 1 pip = 0.01. The pip value in INR depends on the lot size and current INR exchange rate.
| Lot Type | Units | Pip Value (USD) | Pip Value (INR approx) | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Lot | 100,000 | $10 | Rs 850 | EUR/USD move 0.0001 |
| Mini Lot | 10,000 | $1 | Rs 85 | EUR/USD move 0.0001 |
| Micro Lot | 1,000 | $0.10 | Rs 8.5 | EUR/USD move 0.0001 |
| Nano Lot | 100 | $0.01 | Rs 0.85 | EUR/USD move 0.0001 |
For USDINR pair: 1 pip = 0.0025 INR movement. Standard lot (100,000 units): 1 pip = Rs 250. Mini lot: Rs 25. Micro lot: Rs 2.5.
Lot Size Calculator
The lot size determines how large your position is and how much each pip movement affects your account. Choosing the correct lot size is the most important risk management decision.
Formula: Lot Size = (Account Risk in Rs) / (Stop Loss in Pips x Pip Value in Rs)
Example: Account: Rs 50,000. Risk per trade: 1% = Rs 500. Stop loss: 30 pips. Pip value (micro lot): Rs 8.5. Lot Size = 500 / (30 x 8.5) = 500 / 255 = 1.96 micro lots. Round down to 1.9 micro lots or 0.019 standard lots.
Margin Calculator
Margin is the amount your broker holds as collateral for a trade. Required margin depends on leverage and position size.
Formula: Required Margin = (Position Size x Current Price) / Leverage
Example: Buy 0.1 lot (10,000 units) EUR/USD at 1.0850 with 1:200 leverage. Required Margin = (10,000 x 1.0850) / 200 = $54.25 = Rs 4,611 approximately.
| Leverage | Margin for 0.1 Lot EUR/USD | Margin in Rs (approx) |
|---|---|---|
| 1:50 | $217 | Rs 18,445 |
| 1:100 | $108.50 | Rs 9,222 |
| 1:200 | $54.25 | Rs 4,611 |
| 1:500 | $21.70 | Rs 1,845 |
| 1:Unlimited (Exness) | ~$1 | ~Rs 85 |

Formula: Profit/Loss = (Exit Price - Entry Price) x Lot Size x Contract Size
Example: Buy 0.1 lot EUR/USD at 1.0850, sell at 1.0900. Profit = (1.0900 - 1.0850) x 0.1 x 100,000 = 50 pips x $1/pip = $50 = Rs 4,250.
Example: Buy 0.01 lot XAUUSD at 2,350, sell at 2,365. Profit = (2,365 - 2,350) x 0.01 x 100 = $15 = Rs 1,275.
Complete Position Sizing Formula
Combine all calculators into one position sizing decision:
Step 1: Determine your risk amount. Account balance Rs 25,000 x 1% risk = Rs 250.
Step 2: Determine stop loss distance. Based on chart analysis: 25 pips.
Step 3: Calculate pip value needed. Rs 250 / 25 pips = Rs 10 per pip.
Step 4: Convert to lot size. Rs 10 per pip = approximately $0.12 per pip = 1.2 micro lots = 0.012 standard lots.
Step 5: Check margin requirement. At 1:200 leverage, 0.012 lot EUR/USD needs approximately Rs 550 margin. You have Rs 25,000, so margin is not an issue.
Step 6: Place the trade with 0.01 lot (rounding down for safety) with a 25-pip stop loss.
